Deimos & Phobos - Hounds of War
The Human sons of Ares who would accompany him into battle during the Bronze Age. They were said to embody Dread and Panic on the battlefield, and given the epithet, the “Hounds of War.”
Both Deimos & Phobos were both born to the same mother, with Phobos being the oldest of the two brothers. In life they fought wars in Ares' name, claiming honour and victory. When they eventually fell in battle the two brothers immortalised to serve at Ares’ side.
Deimos & Phobos are sometimes worshipped or invoked alongside Ares, commonly before battle.
